My name is Michelle, and I’m reaching out because I’m facing a tough time after a recent hospitalization and surgery. In just the first week, I had to spend all my savings to cover hospital bills and medications. On top of that, I’ve just paid my rent, car payment, car insurance, and bought food for myself and my pets. Now, with all my resources depleted, I’m worried about how I’ll manage the bills that keep coming in. I am alone all by myself in the United States, and it’s hard for my family to support me since they’re back home in the Philippines, so I’m facing this on my own. On top of everything, I now have a large hospital bill from surgery that I need to pay out of pocket.

I won’t be able to return to work right away, which means I have no income to rely on while I recover. The stress of mounting bills—medical, rent, and daily essentials—is overwhelming. I’m doing everything I can to stay afloat, but I know I can’t do this alone.

Your support would mean the world to me. Every donation, no matter the size, will help me cover medical expenses, keep food on the table, and make sure I don’t fall behind on rent while I heal. Any amount is a big help to me, and I’m deeply grateful for your kindness and support during this difficult time.
